Y The Wife of q Russian Priest,

There is only one happy woman in
Russia-the priests wife-and it is a
common mode of expression to say Gas
happy as priests wife, The reason
why she is so happy is because her
husbands position depends upon her.
If she dies he is deposed. and he
becomes a mere layman, and his
property is taken away from him and
distributed, half to his children and
half to his Government. The dreadful
contingency makes the Russian priest
careful to get healthy wife, if he can,
and makes him take extraordinary
good care of her after he has secured
her. He waits upon her in the most
abject way. She must never get her
feet wet, and she is petted and put
in hot blankets if she has so much as
a cold in her head. It is the greatest
possible good fortune for a girl to
marry priest-infnitely better than to
be the wife of q noble.

Raw Pork Habit.

St. James Gazette: A man dying of
trichinosia inspires, like every unfor-
tunate wretch,a certain degree Of pity.
But, judged on moral grounds, he can
scarcely be placed on a higher level
than the man dying of dehrium ire
mems; and, as matter of fact, better
men have died of the insidious alcohol

fest the flesh of pigs, What there can
be so seductive in portland raw pork,
above all-that sensible people, as Ger
mans in general must surely be con-
yidered, should devour it unoooked and
uncured, it is hard indeed to imagine.
The Germans, however, are so much
addicted to this kind of food that whole
families, whole populations, will some
times fall ill from morbid indulgencies
in it; and it is reported from Hamburg,
where raw pork is consumed (by the
inhabitants) in dangerously large
quantities, that on Sunday night, in
one family alone, nine persons were
suffering from trichinosis.

Women In Public Life.

Women in politics have always been
more or less conspicuous in this coun-
try. Perhaps of late years they have
become more noticeable in this respect.
The history of Andrew Jackson's Ad-
ministration is a proof of how much
trouble between political friends can be
caused sometimes innocently. by a
woman's personality. Kate Chase
prague was at one time power in
Washington, before whom great states
men bowed, and she was the support
upon which her father leaned during
all the years when he toiled upwards
with longing eyes towards the Presi-
dency which he never reached. John
A. Logan's wife, with her bright face
and white hair, outlined against the
dark, burly personality of her husband
will always be a remembered figure in
National politics. Had he lived she
would have continued her ceaseless
struggle to make him President and
she would have kept up her unchang-
ing custom of finding new friends daily
for her husband among the politicians
visiting Washington. Mrs. Hayes made
herself quite a conspicuous character
during her husbands term of office,
and though she was a modest, shrink
ing little woman, who had no love for
public affairs, she was credited with
managing a good part of the Govern
ment business for her easy-going hus-
band. These are only few instances
out of the hundreds where women have
within the last few years impressed
their personality on political affairs in
this country. If the full truth were
written about the history of legislation
in Washington it might be amazing to
note how much of women's influence
and women's work run through the
whole network of our National affairs
and Governmept.-Nea0 York Graphic.

HOLIDAY POULTRY.
The Proper Way of Feeding and Prepar-
in: Turkeys for Market.

The Proper Way of Feeding and Prepar-
in: Turkeys for Market.
The most profitable kinds of poultry
to raise for the holiday market are tur-
keys and geese. Turkeys are much
more in demand than geese as the
American people invariably use turkeys
Tor their holiday dinners. The Ger
mans use only geese. The best age to
kill for the holiday trade is from eight
to ten months old, which is about the
time the birds get their full growth.
At this age hen turkeys will weigh
from ten to fourteen pounds; COOLERS
from eighteen to twenty-five pounds
each. Occasionally goblers of the large
Bronze variety will weigh from twenty
eight to thirty-ive pounds, and two
year-olds have weighed over forty
pounds. For the holiday trade we
commence fattening about one month
before the time to kill, feeding them
heavily with corn-meal mixed with
water, or milk--which is better-ten
days before killing. Previous to that
they should have whole corn. We feed
from open boxes or troughs, allowing
the birds full liberty to range, which
gives them better appetite than if
confined. They seldom go far from
their feeding place at that time of the
year if they have plenty OF feed. The
time to kill before the holidays de-
ponds upon how far they are from
market and how long it takes them to
reach the consumer. They should be
kept from feed ten or twelve hours be-
fore killing, and ought not to be killed
longer than five or six days before
they are used, unless the weather is
very cold. If kept frozen, they will
keep we'll two weeks after being killed.
The proper way to kill turkeys is to
hang them up with their heads down,
then with a sharp knife stick them
through the neck close to the head.
As soon as the blood begins to run,
commence picking. The large feathers
should all be picked by the time the
turkey is dead. as they come out much
more easily while bleeding. When
poultry are to be shipped long dis.
tances the proper way is 10 pack them
in strong, open crates. Use clean rye
straw. First put in layer of straw
three or fourinches thick, then place
the birds on their backs as close as
possible, bend down the legs close to
the body; on these put another layer
Of straw. and SO on until the box is
full. The boxes should be open SOFAS
to admit the air, and shonld not be
200 large. They should hold not over
$50 pounds. c0r. Rnroi New Yorker.

THE OPIUM HABIT.
The Most Abject Of Slaveries-Is There
{ IT,. ANY Emancipat0r?

A"ANS~ SAssS
IL Any Emancipat0r?
The New York papers lately published q
Fery pathetic story about very popular
emotional actress. twas to tho effect that
she had become a confirmed victim OF the
opium habit, involving an almost total loss
pf physical and mental powers, and actual
RESTITUTION. 7"
The story was at once denied by her
friends, who say she has suffered simply
from nervous prostration, is in no need Of
pecuniary aid, and is on the wayt to speedy
recovery.
Opium victims are usually hopeless, help
less slaves, mind weakened, lacking energy
for any effort toward recovery, rapidly
drifting into imbecility and untimely
graves. ..s
A peculiar feature is that victims craftily
conceal it from their nearest friends. A
young Lady at school near Philadelphia was
recently found to be secretly addicted to it,

In the Chicago ram Field AID Stockn,ae,
September "a, 1887, is this letter signed s.
I. o., from Barstow, KY: II missed the
paper that had my letter in, so did not
know that you made the request to know
what VIA! It was l used to break up the NOR
leman asking information. I should have
answered sooner. It was Warmers safe
cure. I should have given it when I wrote
the letter, but it looked too much like an ad-
Vertisement."
This voluntary statement goes to confirm
the claim made by the proprietors of War
ner's safe cure, that it is the only remedy in
the world which has any decided power over
diseases Of the kidneys and liver, and that
this terrible habit can not be cured until
these organs have first been restored to full
health, because they are the ones chiefly at
fected by this drug.
Editor VIM. A. Bode, of Alton, Ill.,, was
completely cured of the opium habit, &C
auired by long use in o painful malady,
with Warmers safe cure. 1t can not be
cured at all il the kidneys and liver are dis
sased.
It is not claimed that there Is any thing
in Warmers safe cure alone which will do
away with the habit, except that it puts the
kidneys and liver in healthy condition,
giving the whole system that strength and
tone without which any attempt to throw
off the habit would be vain.
It is because physicians have discovered
that no other remedy is so beneficial in re-
storing health to the liver, kidneys and gen
eral system as the one stated that it has
come into general use in connection with
the special remedies for the cure of the
dreadful opium habit.
Ono of the worst features of the opium
habit is the deadening Of mental and moral
sensibilities in proportion as it Weakens the
physical system and the will power.
